Biography
Thomas Law Brown (17 April 1921 – 10 May 1966) was a Scottish footballer who played for clubs including Heart of Midlothian, Millwall, Charlton Athletic and Leyton Orient, as a wing half. In a career interrupted by World War II, he had been selected for the Scottish League XI within his first season as a professional at Hearts aged 17, and played for Scotland in three unofficial wartime international matches, two of them while still a teenager. After the war, he moved to English football, playing only for clubs in east London.
Brown was born in the small Ayrshire mining community of Glenbuck which produced several professional footballers, among them a pair of brothers with the same surname and even including another Tommy Brown; however, it is believed he was not directly related to them.
